Does your brain decide to race at 2:00AM? Overwhelmed by the political landscape? Have your friends mentioned you seem anxious? Ready to take on that trauma you've experienced and avoided? Are you a helper who is feeling burnt out? I specialize in trauma (including religious trauma, deconstruction, and purity), LGBTQ+ concerns, and the unique stressors faced by those working in healthcare systems and education. My approach blends practical skill-building with deeper processing — so you're not just coping, but really healing. I aim to create a space where you can be your authentic self and make meaningful progress toward your goals.
Clients have shared with me they appreciate my straightforwardness, practicality, humor, and down-to-earth style. We will use evidence-based practices while honoring the complexity of your lived experience. I encourage laughter, comfy clothes, snacks, and all the chaos of life. We’ll focus on what works for you in all areas of your life.
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after a difficult past experience, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. I welcome questions about the process, my approach, or anything you’re unsure about — therapy should be a collaboration. My goal is to make sure you feel informed, supported, and empowered to take on whatever brings you to therapy.
